I'm a woman in Texas. I'm married and have a school-aged child. I have a medical background. I'm quite liberal, socially. I love helping people with medical, parenting, and social questions. Don't ask me about tech stuff or finances, because I need advice on those things myself!

Well, Vitamin Water is a good concept except that one serving doesn't give you all the vitamins you need. First, not all of the vitamins we need are water-soluble. Some are fat soluble. Those aren't included in the vitamin water. Then the vit water doesn't contain 100% of the daily recommended allowance of everything. The ones which are in megadoses, like C, often can't be absorbed or used, so they're excreted. I had a college professor who said that if you have a good diet, taking a multivitamin merely gives you the ability to make expensive urine.
Really, there's no substitution for eating well. If you don't eat well, vitamin water can help out a little. But there are calories and carbs (sugars) in it, so you can't just drink that stuff all of the time.
